redm Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 This one needs its own thread I think. I’ve really enjoyed the build up to this match, even the BBC have been pretty impressive in terms of churning out decent content and creating a bit of a buzz. I don’t know much about England or their players so I’m not clear by what extent we might be considered underdogs, I just know we are. I also can’t decide if it’s a good thing or a bad thing that it’s the first match for Scotland. Not that it really matters but it’s a very high profile way to kick off your World Cup campaign.

Alex Kintner Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Been looking forward to it all week. Got a few friends who’ve travelled over for the match. We’re big outsiders but I believe we can get a result ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haringshairband Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I've suddenly developed an interest in women's football. Think it might be because Hearts have a women's team now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taffin Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I don't think we are as big under dogs as some are suggesting. Yes, England are favourites but I think it will be close either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joondalupjambo Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Problem is it just seems that nobody seems to know when to foul at this level. It just seems so gentile. We need to be more cynical. Foul at the right time and foul in the right area of the pitch. Do that and we have a chance in every game. Nice play, nice touches and just being nice brings only one tag, losers.
